3.1 CONNECTING VIA CRADLE

By default, the interface of BT cradle is set to "USB HID". Use the interface cable to
connect the scanner via the cradle to PC. You can have up to seven scanners connected
to one computer at the same time.
Note: If using USB Virtual COM for the first time, you must install its driver beforehand.
Driver version 5.4 or later is required. Please remove older versions!
3.1.1 CONNECT TO CRADLE
By scanning two setting barcodes in sequence
Connect any scanner to the cradle by having the scanner read the two labels at the back of 3656.
The scanner will respond with one beep upon reading each of the labels.
 "Set Connection" label
 "Serial Number" label
After reading these labels, the scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by
default) trying to connect to the 3656 while its LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s).
Once connected, the scanner will respond with three beeps (tone ascending from low to high), and
the LED flashes blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s). When out of range, the scanner will respond with
three short beeps (tone descending from high to low).
Usage:
Read the "Set Connection" barcode first, and then the "Serial Number" barcode. If the "Set
Connection" barcode on the cradle is illegible, try this one —
Note: The cradle settings will overwrite the interface-related settings on the scanners
that are currently connected to cradle.
By scanning a single 1D setting barcode
Users can produce a single 1D setup barcode that combines the "Set Connection" and "Cradle
Serial Number" setup commands to connect with the cradle. While producing the barcode, be
aware the letter upper/lower case "CrAdLe" and the barcode must be the Code 128 symbology.
Usage:
Read the "CrAdLexxxxxxxxx" 1D single barcode. The scanner will respond with one beep
upon reading the barcode.
